Today mine has been off an on all day long. I'll be getting 1.5 mbs one minute and 1x 20kbs. the next. Seems to stay on and solid in about 20 minute increments. Just had work done on the tower nearest my house yesterday, so was expecting the whacky.

I live in Exeter east of visalia my 3G was out for about 20 min and once it turn back on my internet was really fast YouTube was fast.... Coincidence??? And does anyone know any info if Exeter will lte??

Mine was off in Visalia yesterday by main st and valley oaks dr for about 20 minutes too. I didn't stay in the area long enough to see how it performed after it came back on.

I live in Exeter and recently the sprint zone app just updated everyone that better network and LTE is making its way. I visit this forum everyday to get the latest scoop Im hoping it reaches over here.

There is a lot of work going on in the market. It will happen soon. I lived in the Tulare/Visalia area until I went to college. Whenever I come down to visit, I look for progress. I think Visalia has a few towers that are in progress, but I'm not sure what the story is for the Exeter/Farmersville area.

What about peak hrs?

I haven't been home during peak hours but when I am I'll take a look. But I did notice that the signal strength went from full down to one bar in the same location I was running the speed test which shouldn't happen. I just ran the speed test now and averaged about .70 mgps download and .83 upload which is high compared to before when at this hour

Yeah Kerman is weird right now.  The signal strength is weak but the speeds are faster.  Just using my Facebook App it seems to be loading faster than before too.  I can confirm with plada2315 on the speeds.

Really all over the place today, keeps going between good, amazing (over 2.0 mbs this morning), then down to 1x for a little while. Tower by my house was updgraded recently so hopefully it will stabilize soon!

 

I had never seen anywhere near 2.0 mbs at my house previously so that's great. For the past few years it's been around 100-500 kbs.

 

Something's changing for sure!

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
